Line 9:
A form of [[Days of Future Past]] which can incorporate elements from the High Middle Ages right up to the Victorian Age. The chief characteristic is that social status is legally enacted and [[Royal Blood|hereditary]].
Occasionally we are told that the [[Elective Monarchy|king/emperor is elected]], but it makes no difference in their authority. Certainly we never see them running for re-election. (A clever writer could make it like the emperor of the [[Holy Roman Empire]], also elected, but such issues as who are the electors and who is eligible to run never come up.)
(Elected monarchy is fairly common in history, but was generally for life; it matters at the succession, not later.)
